2000 BMW M5

2000 BMW M5 Sedan: Avus Blau, Le Mans Blue Leather, S62 V8, 6-Speed Manual, and E39 M5 GreatnessThis 2000 BMW M5 is a proper modern classic: Avus Blau exterior, Le Mans Blue embossed leather, S62 V8, manual transmission, rear-wheel drive, and only 63,128 miles.The E39 M5 is one of the defining performance sedans of all time because it blends real driver engagement with everyday usability in a way few cars have matched since. It has the size, visibility, steering feel, and mechanical honesty of an older BMW, but with enough power, refinement, and comfort to still feel special today.This example has the right foundation: rare color, excellent interior, manual gearbox, naturally aspirated V8, strong service history, and a clean CARFAX accident history.Why the E39 M5 Is SpecialThe E39 M5 is the car that made the super sedan formula feel complete.It has a naturally aspirated S62 V8 rated at 395 hp, a proper manual transmission, rear-wheel drive, hydraulic-era BMW steering feel, and a chassis that still feels balanced and composed. It is fast, but the appeal is not only speed. The appeal is how it drives.The car feels connected.The engine has real character.The manual gearbox gives the driver control.The sedan body makes it usable.The design has aged beautifully.Modern performance sedans are quicker, but very few feel as mechanical, clean, and rewarding as an E39 M5. This is a car for someone who wants involvement, not just numbers.Avus Blau Over Le Mans BlueThe color combination is a major highlight.Avus Blau is one of the great BMW colors, and it suits the E39 M5 perfectly. It gives the car a rich, period-correct look that feels much more special than the typical silver, black, or grey examples. It is sporty without being loud and sophisticated without being boring.The interior is even more distinctive: Embossed Leather 'Strauss'/Basis in Le Mans Blau. The blue-on-blue configuration gives the car a rare, cohesive, enthusiast-spec feel. It makes the cabin memorable and gives the whole car more identity.For an E39 M5, color matters. This one has the look.Manual, V8, Rear-Wheel DriveThe driving formula is exactly what enthusiasts want.The E39 M5 pairs a high-revving naturally aspirated V8 with a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. That combination is the reason these cars remain so loved. It is powerful enough to feel serious, but still analog enough to feel involving.There is no dual-clutch gearbox doing the work for you. No overly digital filter between you and the car. The driver is part of the experience.That is what makes an E39 M5 different from most modern performance sedans. It has real texture.Comfort and Factory EquipmentThis M5 was also built with the right luxury and usability equipment.Factory equipment includes M leather steering wheel, Dynamic Stability Control, Servotronic steering, tire pressure control, alarm system, electric glass roof, auto-dimming mirrors, electric memory seats, front armrest, lumbar support for driver and passenger, heated front seats, rain sensor, Xenon lights, automatic air conditioning, on-board computer, on-board monitor with TV, Professional Navigation, 6-disc CD changer, Professional DSP HiFi system, anthracite headliner, and white direction indicator lights.That is the strength of the E39 M5. It is a serious driver's car, but it still feels like a premium BMW sedan.CARFAX HistoryThe CARFAX report shows: 63,128 miles No accidents or damage reported 36 service history records 4 previous owners Personal vehicle history Last owned in Montana No total loss reported No structural damage reported No airbag deployment reported No odometer rollback indicated No open recalls reported to CARFAXThe history shows long-term ownership across Virginia and Oregon during the earlier part of the car's life, followed by California and Montana ownership in recent years.
